The story is told of a Bible
class teacher who asked a little boy in her class if he knew what
happened after Jesus was crucified. After a reflective pause,
the little boy said, "They buried him in a tomb." "Right," the
teacher said. "Then what happened?" The little boy said,
"He stayed in the tomb for three days." "Good," said the
teacher. "Then what happened?" "He rolled away the stone
and rose from the dead." "Excellent," said the teacher.
But the little boy continued, "...and if he sees his shadow, there
will be six more weeks of winter."
